Reefer, Managed: Cannabis 101
As New York and New Jersey grapple with the complexities of legalizing marijuana, The Brian Lehrer Show presents a three-week series called "Reefer Managed," exploring how states are managing legalizing cannabis as a commercial product.
We're starting from square one: What exactly is pot, and how does it get us high? Dr. Ziva Cooper, research director at UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative, breaks down the science behind cannabis, and takes your calls. Â
Hi @BrianLehrer - can your guest tell me what exactly is in the oil’s that are currently approved for vaporizing? I taste flavors and I am concerned about chemicals in them… Thank you!

@BrianLehrer Can you please ask your guest about cannabis induced hypermesis? Thanks.

@BrianLehrer People should not assume that cannabis impairs a driver in the same way that alcohol does. The effects on motor coordination are not at all the same.#cannabis
